What’s that you say? You “forgot all about it!“ Pity. Well, we haven’t! Due to another previous engagement, we, regretfully, will be unable to attend this year. However, we do have inside information as to what can be expected to be seen on the red carpet. Of course, there will be the usual cameras, limousines, haute couture…and, let’s not forget jewelry. On this occasion, accessories will reign supreme; with diamonds being among the most talked about accessory of them all!
With the state of the U.S. economy being as it is now; simplicity appears to be the “buzz” this year. While you can still be sure to witness a parade of dangling sparklers, many attendees have chosen to present an understated look this year. Button earrings and diamond studs will prove to be safe choices for those who have made the decision to highlight a magnificent gown instead.
Another surprise is that many of the diamond earrings worn will be clip-ons. This is not just a retro-fashion trend, but it has a practical use; as many diamond earrings tend to be heavy, which makes the clip-on a sensible alternative. Finding the perfect diamond to wear was not an easy task for any of the stars attending.
This is not to say that there will not be any spectacular diamond pieces on display. There will be…that’s part of the allure. However, before you begin stirring up feelings of jealousy within yourself, please be assured that many of these priceless pieces are on loan; and that the wearer is without a doubt, shadowed by tuxedo clad security personnel, who are there to protect the wearer, and then gather up the baubles shortly after the festivities are over.
Now you have it! And so, although we will miss attending the Academy Awards this year, let’s make definite plans to get together next year. In the meantime, we’ll just have “our people” call “your people.” Let’s do lunch sometime.
Ta Ta! Oh, and let’s both be sure to pick out the perfect diamond bracelet for next year’s event.
